An exciting prophecy yet to unfold in the age old saga of God's dealings with mankind is the ministry, death,
and resurrection of two men God refers to as "my two witnesses".
Much speculation has abounded among prophecy teachers and students as to the identity of these two
mysterious entities. Possible explanations such as Moses and Elijah, Enoch and Moses, the church and Israel,
and the last two remaining faithful Christians in the tribulation have been presented. We believe that by
looking at both Old and New Testament scripture these two fearless preachers can be positively identified as
none other than Enoch and Elijah.
Obviously, whoever God has chosen as his human representatives on earth to bear final witness before He
"takes to Himself His great power"...(Revelation 11:17) must be qualified, and that supernaturally in order to
stand against the Satanic manifestations that will take place. This study will show that Enoch and Elijah have
already demonstrated themselves faithful, and honorable stewards of the divine power and authority that flows
from God alone.
We will look first at Enoch.

"...that in the mouth of two or
three witnesses every word may
be established".
Matthew 18:16
three witnesses every word may
be established".
Matthew 18:16
Enoch was generationally the seventh from
Adam, who was the first "son" of God (Luke
3:38) Enoch's name means "Dedicated".
Biblical names imply much more than just an
identity. They were often given by divine
inspiration. Enoch's name will reveal much
about his life, and future ministry in the
Kingdom Of God.
Enoch lived during an extremely wicked era.
Mankind was so given over to evil that in just
three generations future, all terrestrial life with
the exception of 8 people and the preserved
species of lower creation would be wiped out
by flood.

Enoch was the father of Methuselah, who was also Noah's grandfather and the oldest man who ever lived. Methuselah
lived to be 969 years old, and died the year of the flood.
Perhaps you have studied history and noticed the extreme wickedness and cruelty of various men and empires down
through the ages. Most of these noted historical figures only lived between 50-80 years. Think about the carnage and
suffering they perpetrated. Now you can get an idea of how incredibly evil the earth was when men lived to be almost 1000
years old. There is some anthropologic research that tends to support the theory that the earth's gravitational field was not
always as strong as it is now. Certainly we know that it had never rained before the flood, but that the earth was hydrated by
a mist. It is possible these ancient conditions contributed to the longevity of terrestrial life. At any rate, the extended lifespan
gave wicked men a tremendous opportunity to exercise their lust for evil, and grieve the heart of their Creator. A major
factor in this rebellion against God was the interaction of the giants -- the Nephilim -- with the human race. The Nephilim
were rebellious angelic beings which had intermixed with human women. This hybrid offspring was the fruit of a wicked
Satanic plan to mar the creation of God, for man was created in God's image and likeness and the One who was destined to
bruise the head of the serpent (Satan) was prophesied to come forth from the seed of the woman.
Enoch lived in the midst of this corruption, yet he had this testimony, "that he pleased God"...(Hebrews 11:5) He chose to
dedicate himself to the God he could not see, but knew by faith from the oral tradition passed down from those in his
bloodline who revered the voice and heart of Yahweh. The promise of the holy nation through the seed of Abraham had not
yet been made, the law from Sinai had not yet been given, and the 'Major and Minor prophets' were yet to come on the
scene, yet Enoch shunned the evil around him and purposed his mind to boldly serve the True and the Living God. He must
have been an awesome witness in those days, indeed, he would have had to face off with the evil 'hybrids' who sought to take
over the mankind and the world for themselves. It may even be that they had a "contract" out on him when God translated
him, thus removing him from their reaches. Enoch hails from before the flood, demonstrating that, even without the law, the
prophets, or the preached gospel, man has the inherent ability to recognize right from wrong, and make the appropriate
choice. The end time tribulation will affect the entire world, and we should remember that there are multitudes who have not
yet rejected Jesus. They've just never been exposed to the REAL JESUS. There is a huge difference in "rejecting Jesus"
and rejecting the false, prosperity-doctrine/racial subjugation/dominionist poison that masquerades as "Western Christianity".
God knows the heart of every man, woman, boy, and girl He has created. Through the testimony of His two witnesses, He
will reach out to and extend opportunity to all the inhabitants of the earth, for God is not willing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance (II Peter 3:9) These are "them that fear His name, both small and great..." referred to in
Revelation 11:18.
THE TRANSLATION Genesis 5:22-24, Hebrews 11:5
And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before
his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Enoch walked with God. The Hebrew word for walked is 'halak', implying contining to follow, going on more and more, to
be conversant...After living on this earth for 365 years, Enoch - a husband, father, preacher and prophet, suddenly
disappeared. He was gone. God took him. And the scripture specifically states HE DID NOT DIE.
God is not confined to time and space as we on earth are. He is outside of this realm and sovereign over all forces He has
put into effect to operate the universe. God took Enoch from the earth temporarily, but he still has a mission to complete.
For this reason, he does not yet have a glorified body. He will receive the tent of the terrestrial once more in order to fulfill his
mission, which will culminate in martyrdom. Because the scripture cannot be broken, and the word of God states that it is
appointed once to man to die... (Hebrews 9:27) Enoch must meet the fate of all flesh.
THE PROPHECY
Before Enoch was taken by God to be kept as one of His final witnesses, he gave a prophecy. This prophecy is yet to be
fulfilled, and was preserved through the flood by his posterity, and recorded for us in the New Testament by Jude, the servant
of Jesus Christ, and brother of James.
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they
have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him". Jude 1:14-15
Man, angelic beings, and Satan will be variously judged at the return of Christ for their ungodly deeds and words. Among the
last of the ungodly deeds perpetrated will the murder of Enoch. For three and a half days, his body will lie as an open
spectacle in the streets of Jerusalem along with his colleague, Elijah. Satellite coverage will broadcast their demise to the
entire world, and world leadership will respond by declaring the event a global holiday. Satellite coverage will also broadcast
their revival and ascension into the clouds. Little will they realize that all the fury of heaven is about to break loose. Enoch
dedicated his life to God, and God has in turn delegated the responsibility of the last witness to Enoch.
Let us strive to also have a testimony like Enoch -- that we please God.
Now, let's look at the other witness, Elijah.
